Bronze work "The comet" by the Petralese sculptor Vincenzo Gennaro. Total height 6.06m, lost wax bronze casting. Plaster model made in the Petralia Soprana Oratory in 1992, casting, chiselling and polishing made in Tuscany in 1993. The comet is the symbol of man's rediscovered ability and will to start afresh from the foundations because he has rediscovered the path of his history, the 'ancient pride never extinguished of being the custodian of millennia of civilization. The comet indicates the place where the ferments destined to build the warp and weft of a historical cultural redemption are elaborated.
